As a motorbike, the Mod Scooter's weight is only half that of a standard car. Being a low-powered vehicle, however, the Mod Scooter's performance is not even comparable to that of the game's [[Bike]], and is effectively the slowest vehicle in both games, even more so than the [[Wheelchair]]; even its speed in reverse is the slowest.
